Forum Architects Files Appeal

Pet Patrol

in Federal Court in Yankeetown Case

By Newscaster Correspondent Sally Price

This week Forum Architects filed an appeal seeking to overturn the Court s ruling

granting Rebecca Jetton s Motion for Summary Judgment dated September 23, 2009.

One issue in dispute stems from whether or not former Zoning Official Stanley

Moore did or did not approve 5 of Izaak Walton Investors s applications for Flood and

Zoning Compliance under Yankeetown s Zoning Code. Jetton maintains she was hired as

Moore s replacement and began as Yankeetown s new Zoning Official on January 3, 2007

and was instructed by Mayor Clary to “re-review” the IWI applications. Jetton did “re-re-

view” the applications and denied 5 of the 6 applications for Flood and Zoning Compliance.

Forum provided two affidavits to the Court in support of its position that Mr.

Moore did in fact approve the 5 submittals. Further, Forum argued that pursuant to Chapter

21 of the Yankeetown Zoning Code that there is no provision to “re-review” permit applica-

tions. Therefore, Ms. Jetton had no basis to “re-review” these submittals nearly 9 months

after their submission and approval by Mr. Moore.
